'63 1800S, usual debate among the 1800 Intelligentsia about the "P". It was a bit crusty before the restoration.

And the usual lively discussion about bringing one south - including a good tip about not filling the trunk with spare parts unless it's clearly stated on the bill of sale; there would be complications from CBP and extra declaration paperwork, and more cash would change hands.

It has an LS…and then it needs boost?


Also - I obviously don’t know the difference between an LS and an “LQ4.”

The LS engines are such a mature platform it is often referenced by the GM application code, in this case the 6.0L iron block version
installed in trucks '99-'07ish. Likely had low 300s HP stock, but if you're gonna build a Hot Rod...

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

This would be beyond ideal if I ran a small hotel in coastal California or Mexico. Which, itself would be ideal.
